Unbelievable! The Blond Rookie Is the Chief Detective - Chapter 28

She didn’t dare leave when Wu Xuejun was abusing her because of her daughter.

Even after her daughter was abducted, she remained with Wu Xuejun, for one reason only.

Wu Xuejun knew her daughter’s whereabouts, or perhaps her daughter’s disappearance back then was related to Wu Xuejun.

He used the fact that he knew where his daughter was to keep Sun Hongxia hanging, making her willingly support him without daring to resist.

He chased Sun Hongxia out in the heavy snow without any concern that she would never return, probably because he knew that no matter what, Sun Hongxia would not abandon her daughter, which is why he was so fearless.

After hearing her thoughts, Ye Jiuzhou said, “Perhaps you are right, but this has nothing to do with the current murder case. Perhaps we should focus our energy on the murder case.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. She hadn’t originally intended to talk about investigating the disappearance case from back then; she had just suddenly thought of something.

“Captain Ye, I want to do a DNA comparison between Lin Yue and Sun Hongxia. On the surface, these two deceased people seem to have no connection, but Sun Hongxia lost a daughter 21 years ago, while Lin Yue was adopted, and her age matches that of Sun Hongxia’s lost daughter.”

“You mean they might be a mother and daughter?”

Everyone stared wide-eyed. Could it be such a coincidence?! Su Xiaoxiao really has a wild imagination.

“Whether it is or not, we’ll know once we get tested.”

Ye Jiuzhou thought it made sense. It wouldn’t be difficult to do a DNA test, and who knows, it might help them find out why they were killed.

Since there are no other clues, we can only try anything as a last resort.

Su Xiaoxiao just had a gut feeling that Sun Hongxia’s lost daughter might be related to her murder in some way, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on what that connection was.

As for Lin Yue’s case, she had other ideas.

Yesterday she went back and asked Shiyi another question.

When Shi Yi first mentioned that he would not choose girls with clean backgrounds when he made his move, he would choose girls who had done bad things or who were greedy.

At the time, Su Xiaoxiao thought about the girls he had deceived, who all had varying degrees of blemishes on their bodies, so she didn’t ask them specifically.

Later, when she discovered that Liu Jie was involved in a theft case, she thought that perhaps Wang Jue might have more to do than just manipulate other people’s feelings; perhaps there were other unknown things about her.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yi said that it wasn’t him who chose Wang Jue, but Wang Jue who chose him. At the time, he felt that since she was at least a vain woman and not a good person, he might as well have some fun with her.

Su Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed. She had thought she would hear something else from Shiyi, such as Wang Jue having harmed others, just like Tian Jiajia.

However, just as she was about to leave, Shi Yi called her back, “Officer Su, I wonder if this counts?”

Tell me about it.

“When I first started dating her, I would often buy her things. Sometimes she would ask me to buy products endorsed by a celebrity, yes, a celebrity named Gu Yang. Every time I bought something, I would post pictures of it online.”

Once, when she was drunk, I jokingly asked her, “If you like Gu Yang so much, why are you still with me?”

She said she wasn’t stupid, and being a celebrity couldn’t put food on the table. She could distinguish between reality and dreams, and she wouldn’t be like some fools who would risk their lives for someone they couldn’t see or touch.

Finally, she added, “You don’t understand, I’m fishing, you know what fishing is?!”

I don’t know if she meant fishing for me, or something else, when she said “fishing.”

Su Xiaoxiao told Ye Jiuzhou what she had learned from Shi Yi, but Ye Jiuzhou didn’t quite understand what she meant.

Not only did Ye Jiuzhou not understand, but everyone else was also completely confused.

What does fishing have to do with their case?

Su Xiaoxiao walked to the whiteboard and wrote two names on it: Lin Yue and Wang Jue.

“When these two murders first came out, some people online linked the two people together, saying that they were both fans of Gu Yang, and they were stirring up trouble online, saying that they were killed because of their fan status.”

“That’s right, but that possibility has now been ruled out. Wang Jue and Lin Yue’s cases are not related.”

“Although the two cases are committed by different perpetrators, they cannot be said to be completely unrelated. I think Lin Yue’s death is more or less related to Wang Jue.”

“Where is the connection?” Jiang Qing didn’t understand either. They were all just Gu Yang’s fans. Gu Yang had tens of millions of fans, so there were countless people connected to him all over the country.

“The connection between them happens to be their shared identity as fans. It was after listening to Shiyi’s words that I understood some things.”

He said that Wang Jue would post pictures of her purchases of Gu Yang’s endorsements on Weibo, and he had seen them. But have you checked Wang Jue’s phone and seen her Weibo posts? Su Xiaoxiao asked.

“We checked the Weibo app on her phone, but her Weibo account has been deleted,” Jiang Qing replied. After the case came out, they basically checked her phone, but they didn’t pay much attention to the fact that her Weibo account had been deleted.

Don’t you guys think it’s strange that she deleted her Weibo account?

“It’s not surprising that she canceled her account, is it? Didn’t you just say that she’s someone who keeps reality and dreams very separate? Now that she’s hooked up with Shi Yi, a real-life rich second-generation, she’s lost interest in celebrities and that’s why she canceled her account?”

“That’s right, it’s not surprising that she deleted her account, but the timing is strange. It was deleted in the early morning of the day she died. Someone helped her delete her Weibo account after she died, which means that someone didn’t want us to see her Weibo posts.”

Everyone fell into deep thought. Some people didn’t want the police to see her Weibo, but what did her Weibo have to do with her death?

Su Xiaoxiao drew a line connecting Lin Yue’s name and Wang Jue’s name on the whiteboard. “We originally thought these two people had nothing to do with each other, but now look,” she said, sticking a piece of paper on the whiteboard.

“These are Lin Yue’s Weibo friends.” Su Xiaoxiao pointed to a circled name. “This person, named ‘我心非杨’, is Wang Jue’s Weibo name. I checked, and it was Wang Jue who added Lin Yue. After adding Lin Yue, they chatted in private messages, mostly sharing things about Gu Yang. Three months ago, Wang Jue invited Lin Yue to join a fan group.”

In other words, Lin Yue and Wang Jue know each other, at least online.

Lin Yue and Wang Jue actually knew each other—was that a coincidence?! They went to see the same movie that night, and were subsequently murdered one after the other.

Su Xiaoxiao only connected the dots after seeing Wang Jue’s Weibo username.

So this is what Wang Jue meant by fishing.
